RECORD BREAKING; 9-Year-Old Boy Is Nigeria's Youngest Microsoft Certified Professional

Hard work really do pay. The wonder boy is a primary 6 pupil of Role Model School located in Oregun in the Ikeja area of Lagos. He has emerged one of the youngest pupils to obtain the Microsoft Certified Professional certificate and he is on record the youngest in Nigeria. His name is Jomiloju Tunde-Oladipo. He came tops among 21 pupils who sat for the examination in Lagos. Jomiloju scored 769 out of 1,000 in the examination. He said: “It was not all that easy, because I had attempted the examination last year, I did not make it then. But I remained focused and I put in a lot of hard work."

 

In his examination score report, the slim-built boy performed well in Sharing and Maintaining Documents, Formatting Content, Applying Page Layout, and Reusable Content, among other subjects. He is now a Microsoft office specialist in office word 2010. By the feat, Jomiloju has joined the league of young Microsoft certified professionals, including Nigeria’s 10-year-old Anjolaoluwa Seyi-Ojo. Microsoft Certified Professional is tailored towards building skills on Microsoft business solutions, focusing on client-end operating systems such as windows XP, Vista, Windows7 among others. Jomiloju, whose certificate was signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft Corporation, Steven Ballmer, says he did not achieve this feat easily, but through persistence and hard work. Congrats boy.
